A FINISHED EDUCATION 



Scene. — Stage set for * 'first part?' Circle seated. 
Bones {sings ; air, ''Paste, Paste, Paste ; " or, " Bow wow, wow''). 



Oh, what is life without its joys, 

Its sorrows, and its duties ; 
Why do the people turn their brains 

With hoarding up its booties ? 
The age is fast in which we live, 

In this great Yankee nation, 
And all we want, to get along, 

Is a finished education. 



{Chorus.) 

Oh, that's just so, 

A finished education is all the go. 



Bones. I say, Sam, I tried to get an education once. 

Sam. Well, how did you succeed? 

Bones. Not very wefl, Sam ; the schoolmarm had a queer way 
of punishing the scholars. 

Sam. How was that? 

Bones. She used to stand us on our heads, and then pour cold 
water down our trouserloons. 

Tambo {shiveri/ii^). Ugh, oh, oh ! 

Sam. Well, sir, if you have been to school, can you tell me 
what the three points of knowledge consist of? 

Bones. No, Sam, that's too hard. 

Sam. Well, Til tell vou ; the three points of knowledge consist 
of " the press," " the pulpit," and " the ladies' dresses." The press 
spreads knowledge, the pulpit spreads morality, and the ladies' 
dresses spread all over the sidewalk. 

Tambo. Oh, for shame! 

Bones. Oh, dry up! 

Sam. Now I have got one for both of you. 

Tambo. Am I in this? 

Sam. Yes. if you behave yourself. 

Tambo. Go it. 



4 A FINISHED EDUCATION. 

Sam. There once lived a man by the name of Noah, who had 
three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japhet. 

Tambo. Were they all girls ? 

Sam. No; they were all boys. Now can you tell me who was 
the father of those three boys? 

Tambo. Shem. 

Bones. Ham. 

Tambo. Japhet. 

Bones. Horace Greeley's grandmother. 

Tambo. Wendell Phillips. {Siibstitute atiy public or local 
characters .') 

Sam. Stop, stop ; I will illustrate the case. You know old Bill 
Tompkins who keeps the shoe store over the way.'* 

Tambo. Yes. 

Bones. Yes. 

Sam. Well, he has got three sons, Bill, Jim, and Ike ; now, who 
is the father of those three boys .^ 

T. and B. Why, old Bill Tompkins, of course. 

Sam. That's right. Now, Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, 
and Japhet. Who was the father of those three boys .? 

T. and B. Why, old Bill Tompkins, of course. 

Sam. Ha, ha, ha ! what a pair of blockheads you are to be sure ! 
Now I have got one for you alone, Tambo. What are the four 
points of the compass? 

Tambo. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter. 

Sam. What, sir ? 

Tambo. Oh, I forgot, — north, south, east, and west. 

Sam. What is before you? 

Tambo. North. 

Sam. That's right ; now, what is behind you ? 

Tambo. My coat tail. 

All. Ha, ha, ha! 

Tambo. Well, if I can't tell you the points of the compass, I 
can sing. 

Sam. What can you sing? 

Tambo. Anything. 

Sam. Sing it. 

Tambo. Play it. 

(^Orchestra play sy7nphony to " Whett This Cruel War is Over.''^') 

Tambo (sings). " Dearest love." (Coitghs.') 

Sam. What's the matter ? 

Tambo. I've got a very bad cold ; have you got a lemon in your 
pocket ? 

Sam. No, sir. 

Tambo. Well, I want it played with a little more feeling. 
{Orchestra plays syjnphony in jig time?) Watch! Murder! 
Police ! (Music stops.) I'm no jig dancer ; I want it played with 
anguish, as if 1 was going to die. You know what I want. 



A FINISHED EDUCATION. 



{Orchestra plays sy in phony in a drawlini^ style ; placing hiinself in 
position, a la balladisi, sings.) 

Dearest love, do you remember, 

When we last did meet ? 
How you told me that you loved me. 

Kneeling at my feet? 
Oh, how proud you stood before me, 

In your suit of blue, 
When this cruel war is over. 

Hoop de doo den doo. 

( While singing, all hands exhibit signs of disgust ; -when sifi'^imr 
the last note, make all the noise possible outside, — beat gong's, 
ring bells, rattle thunder, turn crash, etc.) 

Bones {after ttoise subsides). If you can't sing any better than 
that, you'd better — (Sings.) 

" Pull off your coat and roll up your sleeves, 
For Jordan am a hard road to trabble, I believe." 

Tambo. You think youVe smart, don't you? I say, Sam, can 
you tell me why this tambourine is like Bones's head ? 

Sam. No, sir; please tell me. 

Tambo. Firstly, because it's round ; toothly, because it's sheep- 
ish ; treethly, because it's hollow. 

All. Ha, ha, ha ! 

Tambo. Yes, any man that goes driving a pig through the 
streets I don't think much of. 

Sam. Yes, I'm surprised at you, such a nice young man, stoop- 
ing to such an act. Where were you going with that pig.'' 

Bones. I was driving him home. But I say, Sam, can you 
tell me the quickest and best way to make a liou.>e tor a pig.-* 

Sam. Wiiy, certainly. Get some boards and build one. 

Bones. I know a better way than that. 

Sam. How? 

Bones. Why, tie a knot in his tail, and then you have a pig's 
tie (pigstye). 

Tambo'. Oh, my, who'd a thunk it. 

Bones. I can spell, too. 

Sam. What can you spell? 

Bones. I can spell blind pig with two letters. 

Sam. Oh, no, you can't ! 

Bones. Yes, I can. 

Sam. Well, let me hear from you. 

Bones. P-i-g — pig- 

Tambo. Ah, that's three letters. 

Boxes. W^ell, take out the eye, and the pig's blind — P. G — 
blind pig. 

Tambo. I can spell pig with one letter. 



6 A FINISHED EDUCATION. 

Sam. How ? 

Tambo. U. {Pointitig to BotiE.s.) 

Bones. I can spell two pigs with one letter. 

Tambo. How .'' 

Bones. W. {Pointing to Tambo and Sam.) 

Tambo. I can spell pig without any letter. 

Bones. How ? 

Tambo {gnmts like a pig)- I say, Sam, where was you going 
with that dog the other day? 

Bones. Yes, where were you going with that rough bone 
polisher .-* 

Sam. That, gentlemen, was a most faithful animal, and never 
shall I forget " Poor Dog Tray." 

Song. — " Old Dog Tray:' 

The moon of life is past, and evening comes at last ; 

It brings me a dream of a once happy day, 
Of forms that once were seen, upon the village green, 

Sporting with my Old Dog Tray. 

{C horns.) 

Old Dog Tray was ever faithful, 

Grief cannot drive him away; 
He's gentle, he is kind, you'll never, never find 

A better friend than Old Dog Tray. 

Sam {spoken). Yes, he was an intelligent animal, and never 
shall I forget the howl he gave when our band struck up that good 
old tune of our dear Old Flag. 

{Orchestra plays " The Flag of Our Union,'''^ with chorus^ when the 
cojnpany arise and sing.) 

{Chorus.) 

Then three cheers for the red, white, and blue, 
Then three cheers for the red, white, and blue, 
The Army and Navy forever, 
And three cheers for the Red, White, and Blue. 

{During the singing of this choriis. Bones and Tambo go off and 
bri?ig on the American Flag. Tableau.) 

CURTAIN. 



Baker's Monthly Bulletin. 



,, THE OLD-FASHIONED HUSKING BEE. An Old Folks' 

Kntertiuninent in One Scciu-. Jiy iNkttik 11. l'Kt,iiAM. For cloven male and 
five female characters, and as many more as desired. Scene, the interior of a 
barn, easily arranp^cd; costumes old fashioned. Plays forty minutes or more, 
aocordinp to number of son;^s and specialties introduced. Very easy to get up, 
anil very funny. An excellent introduction for a dance, supper, or sociable, where 
a mixed entertainment is desired. (18yl.) Price, 15 Cents. 

A VISION OF FAIR WOMEN. A Dramatic Paraphrase in One 
Scene. iJascd upon Tennyson's *' Dream of Fair Women." By Edith Lynwood 
Wi.NN. Thirty-nine girls are called for, besides the " Dreainer " who has the 
vision; but a smaller number may be used, at pleasure, by simjily reducing the 
nund)er of tableaux. No scenery is required, and the costunus can be easily 
contrived by home talent. This is a very picturesque and enjoyable entertain- 
ment, and by giving a large number of pretty girls a chance to look their best, is 
sure to please them and every one else. (1891.) Price, 15 Cents. 

JOINING THE TINPANITES : or, Paddy McFlino's Expeui- 
KN(M>:. I'AKT 1. A Mock Initiation for the amusement and instruction of Secret 
Societies. Adapted to all orders, and containing nothing to olfend any secret 
organization. By David Hill. For thirteen male characters and supers. 
Scenery unimportant, the stage representing the interior of a lodge-room. 
Costumes, burlesque regalia. Plays forty-dve minutes. This is an uproariously 
funny travestie of the forms of initiation, and is just the thing for a lodge-room 
entertainment. Any number of men can assist as members, etc. (1891.) 

Price,. 15 Cents. 

JOINING THE TINPANITES. Part II. The second Degree of 
this popular Burlesque Order, Characters, scenery', and costumes same as in Part 
I., of which it is a continuation. Can be played independently, or in connection 
with Part I., which it naturally follows, but without iu the least depending upon 
it. (1892.) Price, 15 Cents, 

JOINING THE TINPANITES. Part III. The Third and Highest 
Degree of this laughable "side" Order. Characters, scenery, and regalia, the 
same as in Parts I. and II. Like the other two, can be given as an independent 
Mock Initiation, or as the third part of a more elaborate ritual. (1892.) 

Price, 15 Cents. 

THE CHAPERON. A Comedy in Three Acts. By Rachel E. Baker. 
Fifteen female characters. Scenery not difficult. Costumes, tennis gowns and 
modern street and evening dresses, with picturesque Gypsy costumes for Miriam 
and Jill. Time in playing, two and a half hours. This clever play of life at 
school and in society continues the series of plays for ladies so admirably begun 
by " Rebecca's Triumph," and is deservedly popular. It unites refined fiin with 
a strong dramatic story, and is at once amusing, interesting, and picturesque. 
(1891.) Price, 25 Cents. 

THE SPY OF GETTYSBURG. A Drama in Four Acts. By 
Cfiaki.ks TowNSKNU. Eight male, three female characters. Time of playing, 
two hours and thirty minutes. Scenery, two interiors. Costumes, modern' and 
military — easily arranged. This is one of the best war dramas ever published, and 
is especially suitable for amateurs. It is full of bright fun and soul-stirring 
incidents. The interest is awakened at the outset, increases with each act, and 
the final climax brings a whirlwind of applause. The characters are all first- 
class. Solonvni, the negro, is one of the most laughable darkey characters ever 
seen in any play. The incidents of this play cluster about the tremendous strug- 
gle at Gettysburg, and depict the adventures of the hero while acting as a 
scout for General Meade. The book contains a chapter of special interest, giving 
careful instructions regarding the style, make-up, and costuming of each 
character. (1891.) Price, 25 Cents. 



PROF. BAXTER'S GREAT INVENTION; or. Old Maids 
Made New. A Farce-Comedy in One Act. By Mauy B. Hokne. For three 
male and three female characters. Modern everyday costumes. Scenery of the 
very simplest chanicter. Plays about an hour, or longer, according to specialties, 
fiongs, etc., introduced. This entertainm«'nt is a decided novelty, and is excru- 
ciatingly funny. First-rate Irish soubrette part, and capital comic old man. 
Prof. Baxter's "patent process for making old people young again suits everybody, 
both on the stage and o(T. (1891.) 



Baker's Monthly Bulletin. 



THE GREAT MORAL DIME SHOW. An Entertainment in One 
Scene, liy Marv li. lloKNE. Nine male, seven female characters. Costumes 
simple ; scenery, an ordinary interior, or may be dispensed with altogether. Plays 
from half an hour upward, according to the number of specialties introduced. This 
•musing piece is a burlesque of the " dime-museum," but is entirely devoid of the 
vulgarity of its original, and perfectly adapted to church or home performance. 
The characters are a wonderful collection of "freaks" of nature (somewhat 
assisted by art) who sing, dance or recite, according to their special abilities, in 
illustration of the explanatory lecture. It can be made uproariously funny, and 
is in character as well as fact a successor to " The Feak Sisters." (1892). 

Price, 15 Cents. 

A WONDERFUL CURE. A Farce in One Act. For female characters 
only. Four girls. Scene, an easy interior; costumes, modern. A very lively 
and amusing little piece for parlor or stage performance.

characters, and two children. Costumes and scenery very simple. This anmsing 
piece is well adapted for school performance, its humor being abundant and 
refined.

Marsham Kae. For two female characters. Scene, an interior, well furnished. 
Costumes, modern; i)roperties, numerous, but not troublesome to provide. An 
admirably bright little battle of wits, relined and amusing. Plays thirty-five 
minutes.

two female characters. Scenery and costumes very simple. Very bright and 
vivacious ; admirably fitted for extemporaneous performance in a parlor. Plays 
twenty minutes. 

SLIGHTED TREASURES. A Comedy in One Act. For four female 
characters. Costumes of tlie day. Drawing-room scene. Time, thirty minutes. 
An admirable piece for a school or home performance ; easy, refined, and amusing, 

A SLIGHT MISTAKE. A Comedy in One Act. For five female 
characters. One interior scene. Costumes, modern and old fashioned. Time, 
forty minutes. Very good for a school exhibition. Miss Penelope Perfect, the 
leading part, is an uproariously amusing comedy character.
